Fenwick continues to bulk up in Seattle

Fenwick & West continues to build its new office in the Seattle area, today naming Bill Bromfield as a corporate partner.

The appointment follows the news last month that three prominent attorneys — Stephen Graham, Roger Tolbert and Alan Smith — had left the high-tech law firm of Orrick to set up a branch office for Fenwick & West in Seattle.

The new office already claims more than 70 clients.

Bromfield — who specializes in private financing deals and mergers and acquisitions — formerly served as chief in-house counsel for Terabeam Corp. and as associate general counsel for Network Commerce.
